I always use acetaminophen as ibuprofen doesn't seem to do anything for me...

I have personally never found a use for ibuprofen that ever made any noticeable impact for me. I have tried it for headaches, fever, muscle pain, nerve pain, etc. It never made a noticeable improvement for any of these while acetaminophen works amazingly for all these. Acetaminophen even works better for me for pain than an opioid like Tramadol...

I don't understand it, but it is what it is.



Ibuprofen works for me about the same as acetaminophen but it tears my stomach up. If I use it for more than a two or three days at labeled usage rates, I’ll feel like I have an ulcer.

The article mentions this but it’s my answer to “how are laymen supposed to know?” In my case it’s painfully obvious to use ibuprofen with caution
